Ukraine Cyberpolice Chief Says Ukraine Hit By 'Badrabbit' Malware
The chief of Ukraine's cyberpolice has said the country was attacked on October 24 by malware called BadRabbit, but was barely affected.
Earlier in the day, Ukraine's Odesa airport said it had tightened security measures after being targeted by a cyberattack, while the subway system in Kyiv also reported a hack on its payment system.
Cyberpolice Chief Serhiy Demedyuk, when asked whether the malware BadRabbit was used in the attacks, said by text message "yes, correct."
The airport said in a statement, "We report that the IT system of Odesa international airport has been hit by a hacker attack. All services of the airport are working in a stricter mode."
Odesa has one of Ukraine's biggest airports, connecting the Black Sea port city with many airports in Ukraine, the former Soviet Union, western Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Also on October 24, the Kyiv subway wrote on Facebook that its computer system had been attacked by hackers and informed clients that card payment for services was temporarily impossible.
